I listened to the finished studio version of this song, and let me tell you, I've never cried so hard to a song in my life. It's so powerful. In fact I can't listen to it anymore without getting all teary eyed.
God is doing a major work in Jon Foreman and Switchfoot, thought they have a great sound and love to have fun on stage, the lyrics hit right on.. Everytime.
It's rumored that this song is on their unofficial track list for Vice Verses. I'm so excited and hope it stays on the album if they intend on putting it on there.
@since789 Good news, "Thrive" will be on Vice Verses, apparently Tim really liked this song and fought hard for it. I'm really glad he did too, because Thrive is one of my favorite songs off of Vice Verses so far. :)
This song was voted Most Anticipated for Vice Verses on my blog! Jon Foreman is a genius! Check out my Channel for an alternate version of this song, and my blog for tons of Switchfoot updates and info.
Incredible how a song sung by a man I don't actually know can make me feel warm and shaking. Endlessly sad and happy the same time. Thriving and getting sick the same time. Jon's work is amazingly epic.
Oh my gosh! I was there for this performance. Jon Foreman is such an amazing individual - truly talented. It was an honour to hear him perform live in such an intimite show. Best concert I've ever attended.
just when i thought that his music couldnt possibly get any better :) vice verses is gonna be incredible. im not so sure if its gonna be a mainstream hit, but it definetly has some of the most pure and beautiful songs that jon has ever written.
@rockgibson14 I personally could see this album being a hit.
This song in particular is pretty much instantly likable - it has a nice verse that builds up to a catchy chorus and lyrics that pretty much anyone could relate too.
@nastybutler16 i really hope it will be! they definetly captured peoples attention with hello hurricane, and from what the band is saying, the new album is supposed to be a lot different and better than hello hurricane or anything else they've done before.
@roxyann7 yes mournig because animal rights activists are passing laws in my home state to completely wipe out animal agriculture because we are "cruely mistreating our animals" but here's the twist every one i know that own livestock spends more time and money to make sure that their animals are well cared for than they do their own children and they are some of the most intelligent, healthy, and happy people there is
4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved
@ReasonablyChic haha. Just putting the "fun" back into fundementalism. This world is bankrupt but there is eternal joy in Christ. "Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus. We write these things so that your JOY may be complete." (1 John 1:3) I believe JF would agree! - Grace and peace.
A warm body doesn't mean I'm alive And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
Probably my favorite song by Jon Foreman. At least lyrically. Great song structure, and an awesome message. i wonder if they will record it just acoustic of if it will be kind of like Yet, with the drums coming in later.

I prefer this acoustic version over the cd version. This version is piercing, raw, and real. Beautiful.
